let's forget about susan rice. the way i voted the way i did is i do not believe the president was not aware of it. i believe the cover up takes place right there, and now because the president was reelected and i support him fully, he keeps saying focus on me, and that is what they should do, and if there is justice in the world there might be impeachment down the road -- down the road. guest: i did not think there will be impeachment, but the focus should be on obama. there was a tendency to some over-state the victory against al-qaida. one of his big talking points was taking out osama bin laden. there might have been the psychological tendency to play down the rise of new al qaeda- linked groups. the central question is why was there no better security supplied in this dangerous conflict situation in libya. that is where the question should be, and he has said, after me, and that is what investigators should do. host: michael hirsh is with "national journal." thank you for being here. next, we turn our attentio

when i asked susan rice, she told me she wasn't expecting a question on that, and that she would have to refresh her memory and go back and think about it. she then said that she was sure she was not involved in turning down any requests for additional security. well, those answers, in and of themselves, are somewhat contradictory, but i can't imagine not remembering in searing detail such a horrific attack on our embassy. >> greta: did you walk out of the meeting with a sense that you were more likely to vote for her confirmation should she be nominated by the president for secretary of state or that you were less likely? >> i walked out of the meetings with a profound sense of disappointment. i actually presented susan rice to the foreign relations committee and the senate when she was first nominated to be the u.n. ambassador. i had spoken for her, even though i did not know her well. i actually presented her to the committee. so clearly i wanted her to be successful. i was proud of her. yet i left that meeting with less of a feeling about her judgment and about her suitability to
